Default Question on bars

I need a set of apes with enough pullback to sit straight in the saddle. Don't wanna go over 14", and in looking around it appears that Carlini Flying Apes or Torch Ind H7's might work. I want them to look sharp, obviously, and the convex bend in these two would allow me to roll them back farther without breaking the line from the forks too badly.

Thoughts, experiences would be greatly appreciated. $$$ isn't a factor. Helibars are out - not clean enough lines.

Call around or check websites, not all manufacturers measure the same way, so 12" in one bar isn't necessarily 12" in another bar.

Figure out what height you want and then go 2" higher. Can't tell you how many people on here have played that game, especially those trying to save $$$ by avoiding aftermarket cables.

I agree with adding 2 inches. I purchased 10's and now after install wish I had 12's

Everyone is different, but I wouldn't trade my Yaffe Monkey Bars, for any mod out there. I put on the 12's which everyone seems to say measure similar to other company's 14's.

I'm 5'11", 32" inseam if that helps.
